Well, I thought this would have one standout winner, but in the discussion thread, there are people who back Chuckie Egg 2 over the original!

Anyway, here are all the ZX Spectrum games I've found by A 'n' F Software. Vote concludes next Sunday...

1. Chuckie Egg
2. Xeno
(it is a close thing though, I loved them both).

I suspect that'll be the final result too, and surprise no-one.

Ugh. Color me berserk, but I’ve never understood people’s infatuation with the likes of Manic Miner, Chuckie Egg, etc. These are simplistic, clunky, and, frankly, unoriginal games. I’m not saying they’re bad, just . . . very pedestrian. Xeno is by far the best game of the bunch.

They only other Spectrum game that beats it (and any other game, for that matter) is, of course, Zythym (by Mirrorsoft).
Every man should plant a tree, build a house, and write a ZX Spectrum game.

Still reeling from the shock result of the Beyond poll!

However, no surprises in this one, Chuckie Egg is the runaway winner, as expected. 16 votes secures its place at the top.

Nearest competition has 9 votes, that's Xeno in second place.

Third placed, with 4 votes, is Chuckie Egg 2.

Then, in joint fourth place, 1 vote each: Crazy Balloons; Jungle Fever; New Cylon Attack and Painter.

Interested in the proportional results? Well...

Chuckie Egg 12
Chuckie Egg 2 6
Xeno 4
CORE 3
New Cylon Attack 3
Painter 2
